(I'm about to cry, a bunch of people say a chapter of harmony, but it doesn't affect reading...) ）

At the Xishan Club, Li Ming told him about what happened to Xiaoma recently, and then complained: 'I really didn't expect that no one would watch Zhang Zhiliang's movie!'

Zhang Zhiliang's reputation is still there, otherwise, how dare he hand over such a big investment in "Ink Attack" to him?

"Actually, now the big director effect is not as obvious as before... The audience either watches Hollywood blockbusters or supports domestic boutique films, and the so-called big directors of Hong Kong and Taiwan can outperform Hollywood?"

Zhong Lifang poured Li Ming a cup of tea, and asked a little puzzled: "Didn't we say before that Xiaoma only makes low-to-medium and medium-cost investments of 5 million to 15 million?"

"We spent 18 million on "Butterfly on the Shoulder", which is not much..."

18 million is not much, the big dog brother is really inflated...

Don't dwell on this, Zhong Lifang then asked: "It's not this movie, I mean "1949" directed by Wu..."

"Now it's called "Taiping Wheel"!"

Li Ming smiled bitterly: "This is the condition he promised to sign a pony!"

Director Wu wants to make works with a big vision, and he feels that the current stage of Chinese films has basically caught up with the level of Hollywood in terms of shooting methods and production techniques, but has not yet resonated internationally in terms of theme selection and expression. ”

"He wants to make works of Western techniques + Eastern spirits!"

"The Taiping Wheel" is very much in line with his requirements, he wants to use the changes in individual lives, combined with the sinking of the Taiping Wheel in 1949, an important time node, to reflect the times with the fate of individual characters, so as to create a tragic song of the times. I don't think he's having a problem with his idea!"

In order to convince Zhong Lifang, or in order to convince himself, Li Ming gave an example: "Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" also uses several individual soldiers to reflect the humanized concept of the U.S. government of "valuing every individual soldier and respecting every life in the war". ”

Zhong Lifang still couldn't understand: "But Xiaoma invested 200 million!"

"That's a big investment in itself!"

“… I'm not optimistic about this investment!"

"Why?"

"Director Wu's vision is limited, so he can't handle such a grand narrative!"

"But this is the condition that he agreed to sign Pony, and you also know that Pony must sign a few directors if he wants to go public..."

“… Okay," Zhong Lifang nodded.

Wu Baige's reputation can still be exchanged for a little appeal, at least at this stage...

Xiaoma wants to go public and circle a few big directors, Wu Baige is indeed one of the best choices at this stage...

Li Ming got to the point: "Lifang, can you tell me what you are investing in movies to watch?"

"Just look at the script..."

“… So how did you manage to make every single one profitable?"

Zhong Lifang hesitated, but still told the truth: "I don't know how to make a profit, anyway, we try not to use big stars in production, try to choose a good schedule when it is released, and then hand it over to the market..."

"No secrets?"

"There's really no secret... If there is, it should be that all of our projects are nodded by Lu Xiaoran, but he doesn't care much about the specific production..."

Li Ming was even more confused...

After thinking about it, Zhong Lifang said again: "There is another point, the orange gang is working together, every time a movie is released, everyone will gather together to work together..."

"The same goes for ponies!"

“… If the pony were the same, Ning Hao wouldn't leave!"

It's embarrassing...

……

Every director has his lifelong dreams.

For example, director Hu Jinquan wanted to shoot "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers" all his life, but he didn't finish it until he died on the operating table.

Another example is Wu Baige's lifelong desire to shoot "Taiping Wheel".

Wu Baige's life is turbulent, from Vietnam to Hong Kong to Hollywood until he returned to China to film, he has always had a sense of family and country in his chest...

In fact, the selection of materials for the movie is like the materials in the hands of a chef, and a capable chef can make a variety of flavors and appearances even if he is a piece of tofu!

The natural disasters in the history of the nation are actually a good choice for the movie, but Director Wu didn't do a good job...

In fact, it can be seen in "The Wind Whisperer" that he is not good at long shots and big scenes.

lacks basic military common sense and logic, and has to shoot "Taiping Wheel"...

You have dreams, O**K!

But you can't make a bad movie in the name of your dreams and shake your head: 'The market doesn't work!'

Talking about feelings, I'm sorry, the market doesn't pay for feelings!

……

The script structure of "Fireworks in the Day" is very simple, it is the story of a man who is down, looking for a good opportunity, visiting the murderer, detecting the truth, taking advantage of the situation, and finally achieving miraculous achievements!

Actor Zhang Zili: Divorced, down-and-out policeman, drinking and giving up on himself every day, what is it about sex and love, machismo...

When he first met the heroine, he just wanted to possess her when he saw a beautiful woman, even if his colleagues persuaded him to "who is unlucky with this woman", he couldn't help the hunger in his heart. But later, Zhang Zili suddenly became very upright, put the heroine on the hook and finally reported her, and betrayed Wu for his own career.

Of course, you can understand that he is to free the heroine ...

This movie is really good for pretending to be forced - it naturally creates a sense of form!

Of course he will make such a movie, don't forget, Ya's first movie "Border Storm" is a work with a sense of form that exceeds narrative!

Lu Xiaoran finished writing the script in one night, and then pondered for a while, and when the filming of "Search" was completed, the casting project was established...

However, he always felt that "Fireworks in the Day" was a little worse, and the worst part was the heroine, who was too weak...

Most of the heroines of a crime noir film have femme fatales, but the heroine of "Fireworks in the Day" is submissive...

The auxiliary device also told him that the reputation of "Fireworks in the Day" is not as good as "The Invisible Guest" and "Wushuang"...

But this movie won an award.

The husky persuaded Lu Xiaoran not to change it indiscriminately, just shoot like this!

How to say it, Xiao Luzi wants to use an award to prove that he can not only win the box office, but also earn awards!

And if you want to take it, take the big three in Europe!

Golden Horse Awards?

Who is rare on horses?

Otherwise, I always feel that my confidence is insufficient!

His Du Niang Encyclopedia, in the column of award records, only the Best Newcomer Director of the Hundred Flowers Award in the film part, as well as the Best Newcomer Director of the Chinese Film Huabiao Awards, and the Best Screenwriter of the Golden Rooster Awards...

By the way, at the Chinese Film Media Awards, he won the best director for "Rescue Mr. Wu", and at last year's Beijing University Student Film Festival, he also won the best director for "Time and Space Traveler"...

But none of them have weight!

The three gold medals in Chinese are recognized as important awards!

Golden Horse > Golden Statue = Golden Rooster...

Here's sorting...

His fans go out to tear up with others, and they are embarrassed to mention awards, just talking about the box office...

I always feel sorry for them...

Even for the sake of fans, Mr. Lu has to make an award-winning work, preferably the kind that hits in one hit!

Fireworks in the White Sun is the best choice.
